Spit Roast Catering Helpful Hints

Looking for some helpful advice on what type of party to put on? Not sure what steps to take or what you are looking for? Contact us and we can help.

 

WHAT IS THE DATE OF YOUR FUNCTION?

Tip: Choose the date with care. Avoid planning a party on a long weekend, public holiday or when a large sporting event is on, as your invited guests may be unavailable.

 

WHAT TO SAY ON INVITATIONS

Date, time and place are important!

Tip: If you want people to be there by 7pm, put 6.30pm on the invitation. Also let people know that food will be provided ? specifying finger food, or three course meal so your guests know what to expect.

 

RSVP

Make sure you set a reasonable date so people can let you know ? and you can chase people up.

Tip: most people do not respond to RSVP. In any case, ask people to respond if they are coming and also respond if they are unable to attend.

 

CHOOSE THE VENUE CAREFULLY

make sure it suits the size and type of event you are having.

If you are partying at HOME take into account things like:

  • Bathroom facilities
  • Parking
  • Power supply if you have a juke box etc
  • Informing neighbours
  • Putting fragile items away

If you are planning a party in a Public Open Space?

  • Check whether you need permission to use the area
  • Consider whether power and shelter is available
  • Think about ease of access for caterers and guests

If you are booking a hall...

  • Check availability for your date
  • About a deposit to secure the booking

CORPORATE CATERING FUNCTIONS

When organising a corporate function the following should be considered:

  • Making sure invitations are sent out with enough notice and contain all necessary information including a locational map.
  • The time of the function - not always possible for people to attend during office hours. The best time is usually 5.30pm so guests can attend straight from work.
  • Nametags are always helpful for large functions.
  • A seating arrangement is important for sit down meals.
  • Running sheet and background information for guest speakers.
